Verse 1 ( Capo 2nd Fret )
The Kings been in his bedroom fo[D]r weeks[D/A]
In exile from the world, he neve[D]r speaks[G]
Gm D
The Queen is in the counting house, her fingers in the till
A A
Something is happening to the castle on the hill
Verse 2
The jesters telling jokes to eve[D]ryone[D/A]
Sayin "now he's gone, well ain't[D] it fun"[G]
Gm D
There's whispers in the courtroom, is he crazy is he ill?
A A
Nobody has an answer but they keep on asking still
Chorus
And a friend of mine, one of the few[G][D]
Has locked himself away like Howard Hugh[A]es[G][D]
They're trying to replace him but they k[G]now they never will[D]
And it ain't the same with out him, in t[A]he castle on the hill[G][A][G][D]
I cant remember the exact words for Verse 3 but the guitar part is the same, the break in the middle has a
easy lead part but i can't be bothered to TAB that now so you'll have to listen to the CD and work it out
ones self. Enjoy..
